01Extending in Clevedon
The houses here, and how they extend.
Clevedon is a town of two halves as far as roofs are concerned. Above the seafront there are Victorian and Edwardian villas with steep, tall roof spaces; on the flatter ground inland there are rows of interwar and post-war bungalows and chalet bungalows with wide, shallow roofs over a large footprint.
Both convert well, for different reasons. The older houses usually have the ridge height already; the bungalows have the floor area, and often need a dormer or a roof alteration to turn that area into usable head height.
Rear and side extensions here run from single-storey kitchen-diners on the estates to more careful work behind period houses, where matching materials and getting the roof junction right matters as much as the structure.
02Planning & approvals
What your project is likely to need.
North Somerset Council is the planning authority, and parts of Clevedon — including areas around the seafront, Hill Road and the pier — sit inside conservation areas, where permitted development rights are tighter. We will tell you what is likely to apply before you commit to anything.
Building Regulations approval is needed for every loft conversion and extension. Planning permission is not always — and where a shared wall is involved, the Party Wall Act usually is. We will go through all three with you before anything is priced.
